Guild Wars 2

Why are all the bosses in the Gauntlet immune to immobilize. It’s an unnecessary mechanic which annoys me as it makes 1 of my 2 useful elite skills worthless, the one that does the most DPS for me. The other is pretty useless as it is, because pets are worthless in the Gauntlet anyways (always one shot dead).

During testing, they found that immobilize makes the boss fights incredibly easy to complete so they prevented it from being used.

Yeah, that was their reason. It kind of killed a bunch of engineer (at least) builds due to that. It would have been better if they could have had it convert immobilized to cripple when you’re in the gauntlet, or at least still have stuff trigger off the immobilize (even if it doesn’t immobilize them).

Yeah, immobilizes would absolutely murder the challenge.

That said, I wish they had included it in the descriptions (or somewhere), that they were immune to immobilizes. Almost lost my first fight ever because I expected the guy to be immobilized at a critical moment, and he just ran through it.

They can’t design these arenas properly so they break rules of this game, what an kittens.

Don’t play a ranger
